Default Pathplanner Version Is Outdated #258

@WesternerRobotics4717

Description

@WesternerRobotics4717

Describe the bug
When using the AdvantageKit template, the base pathplanner examples default to 2025.0
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Go to src/main/deploy/pathplanner/autos/Example Auto
or
src/main/deploy/pathplanner/paths/Example Path

Line 2 of each file says "version": "2025.0",

This causes the code to have issues running autonomous programs, requiring the user to manually redownload the pathplanner library, and then re-do the entire pathplanner code integration for AK.

Expected behavior
Usually it would say the most recent version of pathplanner, such as "version": "2026.X",

Additional context
Everything else works well, no other issues at the moment. Love using AK, just thought y'all may want to know that it is defaulting to an old version. Figured this was not an intentional feature. It's easy enough to fix, but was giving several teams some problems, as the fix is not intuitive. You have to change what the program is expecting, as just changing the version will result in many errors.
